Once diagnosed, sleep-type epilepsy generally requires formal antiepileptic treatment, otherwise recurrent seizures may affect neuropsychiatric function. Other sleep disorders, such as night terrors and nightmares, do not require special treatment and are mostly self-limiting. The examination methods of sleep-type epilepsy include: 1. Electroencephalogram (EEG) The EEG is the spontaneous and rhythmic electrical activity of brain cells recorded by electrodes. EEG is one of the most important examination tools in the diagnosis and treatment of epilepsy. Despite the continuous development of high-resolution anatomical and functional imaging, EEG is always irreplaceable by other testing methods in the diagnosis and treatment of epilepsy. 2, cerebral angiography cerebral angiography is a new X-ray examination technique widely used in clinical practice since the 1990s. It is to first select an access artery, usually the right femoral artery, and place an arterial sheath through the right femoral artery, and through the arterial sheath pipe, select different catheters, and then, under the guidance of the guidewire, select the arteries to be displayed, and then inject iodine-containing contrast medium. The trajectory of the blood vessels through which the contrast agent passes is photographed continuously, and digital subtraction imaging of the cerebral blood vessels is performed through electronic computer-assisted imaging. Cerebral nerve examination There are 12 pairs of cerebral nerves, which are generally named in Roman numerals. The 1st and 2nd pairs of cerebral nerves (olfactory and optic) are nerve fiber bundles of secondary and tertiary neurons in the intracranial part of the brain, and the remaining 10 pairs of cerebral nerves are connected with the brainstem, which has their nuclei, and the motor nuclei are located close to the median line, and the sensory nuclei are on the outside of the nuclei. Part of the Ⅺth pair of cerebral nerves (parasympathetic nerves) emanate from the anterior horn of the upper segments of the cervical spinal cord. The parasympathetic nerves have sensory and motor fibers that primarily innervate the head and face. Pairs I, II, and VIII are sensory nerves, pairs III, IV, VI, and D are motor nerves, and pairs V, VII, IX, and X are mixed nerves. In addition, pairs III, VII, IX, and X contain parasympathetic fibers. The supranuclear innervation of the motor nuclei of all cerebral nerves except two pairs (the lower part of the nucleus of cerebral nerves of pairs VII and D.E.) is dual innervation. Examination of the cerebral nerves is of great significance in the localization and diagnosis of cranial brain damage. There are 12 pairs of cerebral nerves in total, and the examination of cerebral nerves should be performed in a sequential order to avoid duplication and omission.
